What customers say
Just bought my first camera here as my birthday present, and I couldn’t be happier! Brianna was absolutely brilliant—she helped us a lot, explained everything in detail, and made sure I got the best deal. She was super friendly and made the whole experience really enjoyable. Huge thanks for the great service!
My usual spot for disposable drop offs. Have had a Sony a6600 for about 3 years and been content with it. I went looking around the store and Elizabeth offered her knowledge as to a full-frame upgrade that would be worth the money and possible lens options.
I’ve been coming here for decades, mainly for my film projects but also some digital stuff. Decent pricing for C41 processing with a fast turnaround, and they also do b&w if you aren’t into developing yourself.
My wife and I drive 1.5 hours each way to get to Unique Photo, because they are among the last great regional photo stores outside of New York City. Here you still get treated like a human being and you get top notch help and customer service.
